Truck. Clean.

So my beautiful truck, won’t pass the Texas State inspection. It seems impossible, since it only passed California’s inspection a couple of months ago – which is stricter.

Yet twice now they’ve said ‘no way jose’ to the CO2 readings. I’m not sure what the cause could be. One would have to have a job in order to take it to the shop to lookee see – mechanics are funny that way about being paid.

So in the meantime I wait. (I have two interviews tomorrow. Yippee). And, today at at the stoplight it died. So when I restarted it – huge plume of black smoke. Oops. I think if you can ‘SEE’ the emissions, that’s a bad thing.

So, for now, I’m not driving it. It’s parked until I can afford to have it looked at. But, I’m still convinced it’s Robs maniacal cross country near 100 mile an hour driving style that contributed to this. So, that’s my story – and I’m believin it. Hope you all are well.

The Biggest Iced Latte Ever

Kelly’s here from California. We’ve been doing all sorts of fun things. Including – watching the bats. More about that next time.

But we’ve just come back from San Antonio and are broiling. Yes, it’s hot here in Texas – but Rob’s AC in his car as crapped out (again) so. We be HOT.

We had an iced latte the other day at Cafe Caffine and here is a pic. You can’t really tell how BIG it was. Wow. Everything is bigger in Texas.

There can be no doubt. The Republican Party is PRO WAR. They had the opportunity last night to cast a vote to help end the war.

It is clear that doing what is best for your party now supercedes what is best for America.

It’s shameful that we have such a large number of the legislature who, still, remain loyal to a President whose main legacy will be being known as the worst President in modern American history. Why do these folks continue to hold on to a policy that is long past failed? Partisanship. Pure. Simple. No other explanation.

Throw them out. For every Congressional representative – every Senator. Throw them out. This is the time for each and everyone to re-energize democracy and remind these career politicians for whom they work.

I hope Americans wake up and remove from office each person who voted to continue this war.
